  I added a large amount of text to my existing blog by copying from my regular web site and pasted to my wordpress blog. But that pasted text goes clear across into the shaded column on the right. It looks bad and would be confusing to anyone looking at it. How can I fix it?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  It looks likes HTML for a table was also copied over from the other site.

  That HTML creates a different width for the text, which causes the problem on this site.

  Please switch to the HTML editor view for the post:

  Types of WordPress Editors

  Then look for this line of HTML:

  <table style="height:64px;" border="0" width="678" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#ffffff">

  Change the width value in that HTML from 678 to 100%.

  Once that change is saved, please check how the post looks on the front end of the site.

  I’d strongly recommend using a different theme.

  The theme currently being used was retired for new users several years ago, and doesn’t really work well in modern bowsers or on mobile devices.
